How senior leaders protect delivery (and reputations) during complex ERP change

60‑minute session: UAT pitfalls, oversight failures and real lessons from peers who’ve been through it.

Rolling out or upgrading an ERP system? Then you already know User Acceptance Testing is a sticking point - often squeezed for time, under-scoped or poorly supported.

And yet, it’s one of the biggest contributors to business disruption.

When business users are expected to take on UAT alongside their day jobs, it often leads to stress, limited engagement and missed issues that can derail adoption and undermine confidence at go-live.

In this exclusive on-demand session, we dig into:

  • Why UAT breaks down so often.
  • How to structure it for success.
  • How smarter testing strategies can cut disruption by up to 80%.
  • Real-world case studies: what Scottish Government and Unite Students learned about ERP delivery.

This session is built for transformation leaders who can’t afford for UAT to become a bottleneck.

It’s especially relevant if you’re:

  • A CTO, CIO or Programme Lead delivering a high-stakes ERP programme.
  • A Head of Operations, Finance or HR whose team is responsible for 'accepting' the new ERP solution.
  • Facing a rollout or upgrade where business teams are already stretched.
  • Worried about missed defects, poor adoption or a stressful go-live.
  • Tired of hearing “UAT will catch it” without the structure to back it up.

You'll discover:

  • Why business disruption happens—even with great tech.
  • The hidden costs of outdated testing (and undercooked UAT).
  • How to build smarter UAT workflows that reduce disruption, not create it.
  • A delivery framework that reduces pressure on business teams.
  • Case studies and metrics.
  1. A clearer picture of how UAT affects business continuity and rollout success.
  2. Practical tips to reshape UAT without increasing effort or complexity.
  3. Strategies for making testing a driver of ERP success, not just a final checkbox.
